2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品训练题（107）及答案阅读理解-drecreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and its sending guys like tim kovar to far off reaches of the globe. kovar, a tree-climbing instructor, recently returned to the u.s. from brazil, where he spent time developing a tree-climbing operation thanks to the slow travel movement. slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cookingthe kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy. likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a places natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games. tree climbing is a slow activity, says kovar. its not something you do quickly and then youre on to the next thing or event. there is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners. this wasnt a race against the clock or the fellow climbers. in fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games. many climbers refuse competition. there has already been so much competition in the world.when you stand below the tree, it can be amazing, rusel demaria says, looking affectionately up at michaels triumph, a 150-foot-tall tree. but reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling. likewise, his wife, viola brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks michaels triumph for permission to climb. it goes a lot smoother that way, she says.and climbing has been included into many educational programs. new tribe offers guided climbs through its school, tree climbing northwest, where we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students, says new tribe present sophis sparks. we know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees. after climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation. this is not just to preserve their playground. perhaps that is why he struggles with the term recreational tree climbing, saying, i prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing.16. what do slow travel and the slow food movement have in common?a. they take people a long time. b. they are related to the eco-tourism industry. c. they advocate protecting nature. d. they cost people little money17 hat do we know about tree climbing from the passage?a. people compete to see who can climb to the top first.b. it favors the experience of enjoying nature.c. it is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort.d. people view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest.18 rumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to _.a. beg for the safety of climbing b. expect to climb faster than her husband c. show respect for the tree d. ask for permission of her husband 19 sophia sparks prefers the term inspirational tree climbing because it _.a. provide people with more chances to play outsideb. bring a lot of pleasure to life c. deepens personal love between each other d. makes people realize they should protect trees20 whats the best title for the passage?a. tree-climbing travelling b. slow travel movementsc. dangers of climbing d. respect for natured篇：爬树已经成为生态旅游的一种形式，它不但给人们带来了乐趣，而且还提高了人们保 护树木的意识。a。细节理解题。根据第二段 the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy可知，答案为a。b。推理判断题。根据第二段likewise, slow travel urges visitors to not afforded by extreme

native americans in north, central and south america can trace their ancestry to just six women whose descendants（后裔）immigrated around 20,000 years ago, a dna study suggeststhe finding does not mean that only these six women gave rise to migrants who crossed into north america from asia in the earliest population of the continentrather, it suggests that only six left a particular dna legacy that persists to today in about 95% of native americans, said study co-author ugo perego in utah“the women did not necessarily arrive together, nor even all live at the same time,” he saidresults indicate the women arrived sometime between 18,000 and 21,000 years agothe work was published this week by the journal plos oneperego is from the sorenson molecular genealogy foundation in salt lake city and the university of pavia in italythe work confirms the previous indications of just six maternal（母系的）lineages, as well as a date of around 20,000 years ago when the first people in north america arrived after crossing a land bridge from asia, perego saidthe researchers studied mitochondrial （线粒体） dna, which is passed only from mother to daughterthey created a “family tree” that traces the different dna lineages found in todays native americansby noting mutations（突变）in each branch and applying a formula for how often such mutations arise, they calculated how old each branch wasthat indicated when each branch arose in a single womanthe six “founding mothers” obviously did not live in asia because the dna signatures they left behind are not found there, perego saidso they probably lived in beringia, the now-submerged land bridge that stretched to north america, he said6what is the passage mainly about?aa study indicates that women arrived in america around 20,000 years agoba

greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. it is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. but since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. it is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. this self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. the problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. it is a problem we need to get out. the meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, i doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.1. before children start speaking_.a. they need equal amount of listening b. they need different amounts of listeningc. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsd. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions2. children who start speaking late _.a. may have problems with their listeningb. probably do not hear enough language spok
